What's open and closed

Almost every major institution in Toronto and the GTA will be shut down on Good Friday.

Closures include:

• Malls

• Banks

• Government offices

• Colleges

• Public libraries

• Schools

• The TSX

• LCBO and Beer Store outlets

• Most major grocery stores (many will close at 11 p.m. on April 21, but check with your local store)

Although all LCBO locations will be closed on Friday some stores will remain open until 9 p.m. instead of 6 p.m. on Thursday. Call 416-365-5900 for details.

The TTC and GO Transit will be operating on their holiday schedules on Friday and Sunday.

Easter parades in the GTA could affect service throughout the GTA. For example, the St. Francis of Assissi Good Friday parade in Little Italy and the Easter Parade in the Beach on Sunday will block traffic on main thoroughfares in those neighbourhoods.
